I got this photo from Arvee via Twitter.

See how you can easily differentiate the various social media sites luring you to become a member of? Can you now distinguish which is which?

Hahaha!

Thanks for this one, Arvee!

So which of the social media sites are you a member of? I have accounts in Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Pinterest only. The rest I am not a member of yet.

It’s really scary knowing file sharing is now being ‘prohibited’ on the internet. And here I thought SOPA and PIPA are done for!

So it’s going to be one heck of a nasty business to share files these days. I just wish they will leave some sites for the US TV shows I watch online.

Mario will be attending an important business meeting by next Monday. He will be meeting up with the executives in the company he’s working for. He believes the meeting will have something to do with the job promotion he is a candidate for. Since it is very important to him, he will bring out the ‘guns’. He will wear a tuxedo that day complete with the tuxedo studs that his wife gave him.

He is nervous but at the same time he is resigned to the fact that no matter if he is chosen or not, he will continue doing good work because if not now sooner or later his hard work will be noticed by the bosses.

I must admit that I am now a big fan of the Chrome browser. I seldom use Mozilla Firefox nowadays because it seemed slower and crashes all the time. Chrome, on the other hand, is way faster than any other browser I’ve tried and used.

It is now my default browser. I love it and I don’t think I will go back to being a regular Mozilla Firefox user anytime soon.

What browser are you using regularly?

I found an old friend of mine from high school via Facebook. That social networking site has been truly a wonder to me. I’ve found so many people in there I didn’t know I have any hopes of ever getting in touch with again. I’ve seen old teachers and long forgotten classmates just because a friend of a friend is a friend of theirs and now we are friends there and are regularly keeping in touch.

That old friend of mine will be coming back to the country to visit his relatives here most likely by March. He already told me that he will be bringing an ereader canada with him as he saw how much I love reading. He also told me to organize a reunion with old classmates because he also wants to see them again.

We don’t have a garage at home. Instead of a garage, we have an area for a shed and a pocket garden. Since my sister has plans of buying a van this year, I told my dad and my brother that they should start working on a building a garage at the back of the house. Both guys said yes.

So now they gave me a list of stuff I need to get for them. I will be using Circuit City coupons on some of the stuff they need and the savings I will get from those purchases will be used to buy for snacks they will surely consume a lot of when they start working.

The Olympia Motorcycle Gear is the perfect gift for my Kuya Eric. He is my dad’s younger cousin and has been a part of our lives for as long as I can remember. He drives a motorcycle so when my dad said we ought to buy a gift for his 40th birthday, I immediately thought of something related to motorcycles. The gear will be a perfect gift as he is planning on driving off somewhere the weekend of his birthday.

Some people has been in our lives for as long as we can go back in our memories. Those are the people we should appreciate more as they’ve seen as through the good and bad times.

My good friend Mika has a really good potential when it comes to engineering and interior design. She already knows how to use autocad and has really great ideas when it comes to interiors. I told her she better try and get an online engineering degree or something related to it. I saw a great deal of potential in her and I just know she can use the degree in the near future, especially as she is now starting a new life across the globe with her man.

I hope she finds a job as soon as possible so she can have enough money to take a degree in engineering or any degree she has an eye on.

and a switch plate to match it. That’s what I have in mind right now. I am thinking of the maroon tiles that I want for the floor and the white walls. The switch plate will have to be maroon as well? Or will white do for it to blend with the wall color?

I need an expert’s advice! I think a fresh chat with my friend Shen is in need. She is an expert in these things. I can tell you now how great she is with interiors so whenever I am faced with a dilemma regarding interior design and layout, I turn to her for advice.

Mr. Valdes and his wife are homeless at the moment. They sold the house they’ve been living in for the past two decades because they are planning to go back to the province. All their kids are with their own families now so all they are on their own now. Temporarily, they will live in their motorhome as soon as the motorhome repair is done. They will begin their journey back to the province where they met after they make sure the motorhome will be safe for travel.

The motorhom will be their temporary shelter. Their old house will have to be repaired a bit and then cleaned before they can properly live in it. But even with all the hassle their move back to the province entails, the couple are excited to begin their country life once again.
